In 2016 and 2017 I was lucky enough to be a part of two National Geographic Student Photography Expeditions. In 2016 I went to Barcelona for twelve days to take photos and learn about photography from National Geographic Photographer, Tino Soriano. The following summer I traveled around Namibia for twenty-one days to take photographs and learn about wildlife conservation. Both trips taught me so much about the medium, the world, and myself.
